Tornado tires
Anyone know which tires these are?

I run my car on the road a lot and the nobby tires get worn out in no time...the ones in this vid look more like street tires that should last me a little longer.
If anyone knows of any other semi street tires for the tornado let me kno![8D]

RE: Tornado tires
ive had my clutch bell smoke to. i think it might have gotten grass in it through the hole. i glued a clear plastic over the cut outs for the tranny and flywheel.thats not i went through 2 sets of tires in a little less than a week. one set stockers, the other set my friend let me borrow from his dark impact.BALD both set.thats my fault though i love seeing the rubber marks in my driveway from blowin donuts. i got 3 tanks out of the stockers, and 5 or 6 out the dark impact wheels. i told him they were bald.he told me he didnt care....we'll see when he gets em back.
goin through tires can get expensive, but that comes with the hobby
